I'm Sarah. I'm a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can't do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

Deep fat fryer is caked in sodium stearate, which should tell you terrifying things about how I clean it and deal with the problem of disposing of used cooking oil.

Here there are cooking oil collection things in the streets by the bottle banks and used textiles containers.

@Adam Sodium stearate is water soluble, non toxic, and fun for all the family to make!

sure, but recycling lets them turn it into biofuel or whatever, and it means I can keep my bucket of NaOH for degunging the sink.

I've saponified small amounts of oil in the past in the UK when it's been too much to flush otherwise.

@Adam Portugal, having been blessed without a domestic terrorism problem, has DIY barns in which NaOH is at the milder end of what you can just plop into the self checkout. I call that section, “the bomb making aisle”. It’s quite fun.

Anyway, upshot is, I’ve got bloody kilos and kilos of the stuff.

@pseudomonas there's a Portuguese chap on y'tube that always seems to have access to some very interesting chemicals. This explains it.
